Hi,

I am 21 weeks pregnant with my first baby and since the last 2 weeks i am suffering from piles which are really painful. I am unable to sit or sleep for too long. My doctor has told me that i have both piles and fissures which is causing this trouble to me. I have never even had constipation in my life but now all of a sudden it occurred out of no where.

My doctor has advised me to take 15 glasses of water and a fibre rich diet and avoid spices completely. I have been doing that for the past few days but its again of no help.

Please suggest me some quick remedies for this pain. Is it likely to continue throughout the pregnancy. Is is affecting my baby in any case. Do i really need an operation to get rid of the pain

Please help i am in real pain

you need an operation only if the haemorrhoids start bleeding, otherwise operation neednt be an option now. if i am not mistaken piles is another name for haemorrhoids.

the stool is still hard which is why it is still hurting and the fissures will hurt too. everytime the stool is hard, you will be putting too much effort into removing it, and these raw areas get injured all over again. some women can constipate badly during pregnancy, diet will help.

early morning, drink warm water, atleast 2-3 glasses on empty stomach. take isabgol at night everyday to improve the stool. try to avoid spicy foods and oily foods. have more of bran contained foods, more wholesome fibrous foods.take more salads, cucumbers, carrots, salad leaves, and fruits.

once the stools are soft, the place will start healing on its own.

In the majority of cases, piles resolve on their own without the need for any treatment. Treatments can help significantly reduce the discomfort and itching that many patients experience.
A good doctor will initially recommend some lifestyle changes.
Diet - piles can be caused by too much straining when doing bowel movements, which is the result of constipation. A change in diet can help keep the stools regular and soft. This involves eating more fiber, such as fruit and vegetables, or switching your cereal breakfast to bran.16
Water is the best drink, and the patient may be advised to increase his/her water consumption. Some experts say too much caffeine is not good.
Body weight - if the patient is obese, losing weight may help reduce the incidence and severity of hemorrhoids.17
Simple things you can do yourself to help prevent piles:10
Try not to strain when you go to the toilet
Avoid laxatives
Exercise.
Ointments, creams, pads and other OTC medications - there are som

"I’m really sorry to hear that 

I’d like to second bambi89’s advice here. My sister had the same issue and was in some real pain. We too were thinking about the operation, but who would’ve thought that one morning, she’d wake up and be completely fine.

I’m no expert on this but plenty of water and fiber-rich diet will really help you get over this.

Wishing you and your baby good health!"
